Intuitive

Everything you need found in one app. Easy to save for multiple saving goals. Great proactive notifications. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

So,so easy to bank with

They have a fabulous app that gives me clear and easy control of my money. An overdraft was offered as standard. A refreshing bank to deal with. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Fantastic bank - so happy with it!

With interest paid on savings, debit card top-ups, cards that work at Post Offices, better cash withdrawals abroad it is head and shoulders above the ‘M’ - shaped competition. Well done everyone! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Best move I ever made

Since opening our joint account we have had no issues at all. Everything was easy to set up and checking out account is a doddle. I have recommended to family and friends who have all opened accounts and are very happy with it. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love the free use of abroad transactions

Instead of paying to withdraw money with other banks, Starling allow you to withdraw for free, with no charges. And the fact that within starlings banking app your able to get 3 months statements up straight away without having to make any extra effort. Which is brilliant for daily bills etc. I think their brilliant Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love it, and has made banking so much easier

I was a little sceptical at first about opening an app bank account, but it didnt take long to realise it was the best decision I made with regards to banking, and I have recommended it to lots of friends and family, who now also use it. I did try a couple of others, but had a few issues, I then found Starling, and have been using it nearly a year and have not had a single issue, not one, have also switched my business account to them as well now. Its how things should be, secure and user friendly. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Beat value

What a refreshing change to the old banks. Love my Starling account, so simple to set up and use, no fees for pretty much anything and the beat value I’ve found for spending overseas. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Easy to use

Starling as been a joy. I love the app, I love how quick they are to respond to any query and I love the fact I can deposit money at any post office Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Complexity hidden for a straight forward experience

I had been struggling with RBS for months about how they don't present information instantly or reflect balances properly. The whole "account balance" versus "available balance" joke. I wanted a bank where I had control of every aspect. Did a lot of research and finally settled on Starling. The switch process was amazing and the complicated tech behind how they manage the bank is so clevery hidden behind the super clean and easy interface. I have recommended this bank to my friends and family; I am THAT impressed. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Love it

So easy to use and I love the real time notifications on what's being spent. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
